Notes (Hamnet):

Elizabeth Richardson (also known as Elizabeth Ashburnham) wrote A ladies legacie to her davghters, published in 1645 (Wing R1382). The Folger manuscript, according to the Oxford DNB, appears to be a much earlier precursor to that work. A related manuscript is in the East Sussex Record Office (ASH 3501), a manuscript copy of Richardson's prayers given to her eldest daughter, Elizabeth Cornwallis, in 1635.
